These ain't built by rocket scientists.....but by people who light their homes with kerosene lamps....

Get your a 2X10 board 10 or 12 feet long. Measure the width and cut the boards square. Use the boards under all 6 jacks and the remaining ones under the low side of the trailer. I measure the height of the front of the 5r so I know where to set it to re-hitch. Unhook from the truck and get...

PS. May sure to top off your LP tanks.

Don't know where you're getting your weather forecast from but there is a major cold front moving in with record low temp expected midweek and through the Christmas holiday. Does your rig have tank heater? If so turn them on. Fill your fresh water tank enough to get you through the night and...

Never! But it's like any other toy. If you like enjoy it you won't mind the effort and expense. Wi1dBi11

Never accept disrespect from anyone. Your father is enabling your brother. Have a serious talk with your father. Texas is a mighty big place.

Thanks for the input. We'll be heading through Texas, New Mexico into Arizona shortly. We use TSD for fuel at the truck stops mainly for the ease of pulling up to the pump. Especially with COVID last year we fuel up, park and use our own facilities. Snacks, drinks bathroom breaks so much...

Question for only those that have been traveling recently..PLEASE! I recently had a friend traveling through New Mexico and had stop for diesel in Deming. NM. The station was out of diesel, however a truck load arrived after about a 15- 20 minute wait at the pump. He was concerned about...

If your rear bumper is where you store your sewer hose it's not strong enough. You'll need to come off of the two main beams that run the length of the trailer. Some trailer have holes already drill accept a hitch. You need to check the total weight and see if you are within the limits of...

Ok, let's go another way and you could suggest the new owner come here and maybe we can point him in the direction of an inexpensive repair. It is possible a loose wire, a sheared pin. I paid $230.00 to have a tech came out and tighten up several cables on a 6 month new RV so I could get the...

First of all, when a unit is winterize, the hot water heater is drained and there is a bypass valve so the heater does need to be filled with 10 gallons of antifreeze. The wet carpet is a concern. Something is leaking. Check all the fittings and plastic line for leaks. it is possible when...

My camera was EXACTLY like shown. After, competely clear like new. Thought about this and even tried toothpaste method, didn't seem to affect it much.. The nail polish is a lot easier and cheaper. Wi1dBi11

Yes, take the camera off the RV and get the lens as level as possible. ONE drop on the lens and let it flow out and let it set till it dries.

Love my outside kitchen. The whole idea of camping/snowbirding is to get outside. I upgraded the small fridge that came with our rig for one with a small freezer for ice.(install a hasp to keep it close when traveling) Just the fridge, small sink and a TV that drops down in front of the...

You may want to research how house boats do this for showers and toilets. Rented a house boat on DaleHollow a couple years ago and that is how it work. Boat had onboard potable water to kitchen sink and bathroom sinks.( cooking dish washing, brushing your teeth or washing hands) That would be...
